Learn from what Portland, U.S.A. has, wish one day we shall have these laws to protect us cycling on the road

Dear all, pls visit this site below, read and learn from what Portland has.

http://bikeportland.org/resources/bicyclelaws

Portland, U.S.A. is a model US city for Malaysia to learn from, dear everyone, pls kindly take some time to surf this site, read & learn from their laws to safe guard both cyclists and motorists to SHARE OUR ROADS !!! so everyone could be safe to engage in cycling to get more healthy & stay active but safe =)

 

WE should start to advise Malaysia Government related department to try to implement similar laws like what Portland, USA is doing before they start to promote Cycling Tourism.

 

Dear Lord, bless us that one day very soon Malaysia and the World's law enforcement will somehow have similar things like this to safe guard everyone to Share Our Roads and enjoy a healthy active lifestyle plus of cos giving our planet Earth some space to breath =) Amen.

 

Over the weekend 24th June 2012, another sad R.I.P. news that rock the cycling community. ;'''(

 

People, I urge all of you, pls pls pls think TRIPLE not twice to cycle on ANY Highways or even their MOTORbike Lanes. We have to take good care of ourselves to try our best to prevent tragedies happen to any of us. 

 

Start taking precaution of yourself & stop cycling on all highways and motorbike lanes. We have our CHOICES to make to stay safe and still able to cycle. Hence, Ride Happy Ride Safe.

 

When things happen we start blaming one another. Why not we all take a step back to take precaution of ourselves & ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE OF US AT ANYTIME ANY MOMENT in ANY SITUATIONS.

 

1) STOP CYCLING ON ALL MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND MOTORBIKE LANES, PRECAUTION IS BETTER THAN BLAMING AFTERMATH.

2) BE SEEN & BE SAFE, ALWAYS RIDE WITH YOUR HELMETS ON, ALWAYS RIDE WITH FRONT N BACK LIGHTS SPECIALLY AT NIGHT TIMES.

3) RIDE IN GROUPS, DO NOT RIDE ALONE AT ANY TIMES.

4) ALWAYS INFORM LOVED ONES, INFORM YOUR FRIENDS WHERE YOU ARE RIDING OFF TO.

5) RIDE IN SINGLE FILES & TRY TO STICK TO LEFT OR INNER MOST SIDE OF THE ROAD.

6) DO NOT EVER MAKE SUDDEN MOVE, MUST SLOWLY MAKE PROPER SIGNAL WHEN YOU ARE MAKING ANY MOVES.

7) ALWAYS TRY TO POINT AND SHOUT OUT ANY POT HOLES AND UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES. PROPER HAND GESTURES ARE NEEDED.

8) DO NOT RUN OVER RED LIGHTS, RESPECT YOURSELVES BEFORE OTHERS RESPECT YOU!

May God bless us all. Ride Happy, Ride Safe ... Share Our Roads by Elaine KarYan Sunny Bunny
